Jarred Origin and Meaning

The name Jarred is a boy's name.

Jarred is a masculine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Jared, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'descent' or 'he who descended.' This alternative spelling became particularly popular in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. The name has biblical roots, as Jared appears in the Book of Genesis as a patriarch before the flood. Jarred offers a slightly more contemporary feel than the traditional spelling, with the double 'r' adding a distinctive visual element. The name conveys strength and masculinity while remaining approachable. Though its popularity has declined since its peak, Jarred continues to be chosen by parents who appreciate its biblical connections combined with its modern spelling variation.
